Canada has 5G options beyond Huawei: Goodale

OTTAWA - Federal Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale says Chinese telecom giant Huawei isn't the only company that can build Canadian next-generation wireless networks. Goodale's remarks on Parliament Hill come after China's ambassador to Canada warned last week of repercussions if the federal government bars the telecom company from supplying equipment for faster, more resilient communications systems than cellphone users have now. Chinese envoy Lu Shaye made the comments during his first media event since the RCMP arrested Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver on Dec. 1 at the request of the United States.

"We are saddened to see him leave but grateful for the tireless work he has put in to help us grow our brand and public image, and build various relationships with government," Huawei Canada president Eric Li said in a memo to staff obtained by Reuters. Li said Bradley will continue to serve as a special adviser "as required."

Bradley said in a separate memo to Huawei Canada, which was reported by the Globe and Mail, that his exit was "not a sudden decision but rather an understanding over the past year and a half that at some point, I would be moving on from a formal role with the company."

Bradley joined Huawei in 2011 after working as a Bell Media executive and running unsuccessfully as a Liberal candidate in the 2011 general election.

China: Detained Canadian does not have diplomatic immunity

BEIJING - A former Canadian diplomat detained in China last month does not enjoy diplomatic immunity, a Chinese spokeswoman said Monday, rejecting a complaint from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that the man's rights were being denied. Trudeau said last week that Chinese officials were not respecting the diplomatic immunity of Michael Kovrig. He was arrested along with Canadian entrepreneur Michael Spavor on vague national security allegations after a top Chinese executive with telecommunications network equipment giant Huawei was detained in Canada on Dec. 1 at the request of Washington.

Meng Wanzhou, Huawei ’s global chief financial officer, will appear at a bail hearing on Friday morning, following her arrest last Saturday.

“The company has been provided very little information regarding the charges and is not aware of any wrongdoing by Ms. Meng,” Huawei said, adding that it Yet Huawei has long faced scrutiny as a security threat in the United States. Washington has expressed concern about using Huawei products

During his time at Huawei, he attempted to create a favourable reputation for the Chinese company in Canada and to dispel worries that it is closely connected to the Chinese government.

Nevertheless, tensions have recently increased between Canada and China over the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver and the detention of two Canadians in China, which some speculate was done in response to Meng's arrest.

Ambassador Lu Shaye said on Wednesday that Canada's demand for the release of the two detained Canadians reflects "double standards" born of "western egotism and white supremacy."

On Friday, Poland arrested a Chinese Huawei employee on spying allegations, but a spokesman for Polish security services said the allegations relate to the individual's actions and are not directly related to the company.

Huawei separately faces opposition from the US intelligence community, where some officials see it as a threat to national security and seek to undermine its access to the American market. Meng is the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei and deputy chair of the company ’s board.

Meng Wanzhou, who faces extradition to US, said to have been investigated over alleged sanctions breaches.

There has been no public evidence that Huawei's equipment has been used for spying and the firm has repeatedly denied the claims, but several western countries have restricted Huawei's access to their markets and have pressured Canada to do the same.

Though the Canadian government launched a security review of Huawei's 5G technology last year, it is still a major supplier of telecommunications equipment in Canada and at least two major carriers have said they plan to test the company's 5G technology in small-scale pilots.

Bradely previously served as chair of the 5G Canada Council, a national trade group promoting the adoption of the next-generation wireless technology.

As of 2017, companies under Chinese law are required to "support, co-operate with and collaborate in national intelligence work."

COMMENTARY: Canada needs to take a harder line on Huawei — and China itself.
The Trudeau government clearly did not foresee Canada's relationship with China deteriorating as much as it has. Things may have to get worse before they get better.
